Sleigh Bells Pop-Up Christmas Card

| ullycatdesigns

There’s a new mini release of five new stamp sets from Karen Burniston. For this card I’ve used the new Christmas Wishes sentiment stamps along with previously released die sets – Sleigh Pop-Up, Christmas Animals, Oval Frames Pop-Up, Gnome and Santa, Labels -Crosshatch, Squares- Crosshatch and Church & School Tiny House Add-Ons.

Watch the video below to learn how I made this card.

Cardbase: Start with an 11×4.25-inch rectangle of kraft colored cardstock. Score and fold at 5.5-inches to form an A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) side-fold card. Cover the four panels with decorative papers.

Card Back

Santa, Reindeer and Sleigh: Watch the assembly videos at the bottom of each of the dies’ linked pages. Santa was made using the Gnome and Santa die set and has the possibility to have his face stamped using the new Fun Faces stamp set. The reindeer were made using the Christmas Animals die set and made on the reverse side of normal die cut. (See the video above to learn how the harness was made.) Using just the sleigh die from the Sleigh Pop-Up, cut once in white and again in silver, Use the stencil die to emboss the sleigh body. Trim off the runner on the white embossed piece and ink with red. Place the red sleigh body slightly offset on top of the silver to give sleigh some dimension.

Pop-Up Platform: Use only the largest die in the Oval Frames Pop-Up set to cut from cream cardstock. train the folds as directed in the die’s assembly video (located at the bottom of the linked page.) Using a glitter paste, add a thin coat to the main platform and let dry before gluing the sleigh onto it. Follow the steps in the video above for the order to glue the various pieces into the card.

Card Front

Sentiments: All the sentiments were stamped in black ink using the Christmas Wishes stamps set. They were cut using the smallest plain die from the Labels -Crosshatch set. For the card front a square decorative paper background and two silver bells were made using the Squares – Crosshatch and Church and School Tiny House Add-Ons die sets.

Wizard Themed Pop-Up Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for September 2025 using the theme of letter. I chose to make a card celebrating the Owl Post in the Harry Potter world using the Feathered Animals, Postage Pop-Up, Arch Pop, Rainbow Add-Ons, and Paper People die sets.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: Start with a purchased A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) cardbase of brown kraft paper. Cover the four panels with decorative papers. (I used Ciao Bella’s Wizard Academy paper pad.)

Arch Pop-Up: Watch the assembly videos (located at the bottom of the linked die set pages) for the Arch Pop-Up and Rainbow Add-Ons. Use different shades of gray to build up the stone archway. The keystone of the arch is a decorator die in the Photo Fan Pop-Up.

Harry and Hedwig: Harry is made using three die sets – Paper People, Tiny Accessories 1 and Graduation Elements. Hedwig is made using the Feathered Animals set using white card stock and a gray brush tipped marker. (Watch the video above for assembly. Also watch this video for more details on the Hogwarts uniform.) The envelope Hedwig carries is from the Postage Pop-Up set. Watch the video above to learn how the red seal is made.

Sentiments: All the sentiments and Hogwarts crest used on the card are stamped using brown ink and Crackerbox Stamps. Watch the video above for how the large envelope and message card are made from the Squares – Crosshatch die set. “Happy birthday” on the card front is the Happy Birthday Lorna Add-Ons.

Envelope: The card fits into a brown kraft paper A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope stamped with a castle and an owl post stamp on the back flap in brown ink.

Day 7 – Week of Good Cheer Christmas Cards

| ullycatdesigns

This is Day 7 in the Week of Good Cheer Christmas Card series featuring cups and mugs of winter cheer as beverages. Today’s card features Trinity Stamps’ Trini-Tea Cup Card die set made up as a Santa mug of cocoa. (GIVEAWAY opportunity near end of post.)

Watch the video below to see how the card was made.

Cardbase:  I started with an 8.5×11-inch sheet of red cardstock of at least 80lb. weight and cut out the shaped card base using the Trinity Stamps’ Trini-Tea Cup Card die set.

Santa:  Santa is created using a Spellbinders’ set of scalloped circles and an i-Crafter’s set of nested circle dies. Watch the video above to see how it was made. The mustache, eyes, mouth and eyebrow come from the Spellbinder’s Cocoa Wonderland die set.

Sentiments:  The die-cut sentiments of “Christmas Greetings” and “ho, ho, ho” are from Karen Burniston’s Small Script- Christmas die set. Another Karen Burniston product, her Winter Hugs stamp set, was used to stamp “Stay warm and drink Hot Cocoa” in brown ink on the catalog (6×9-inches) envelope’s back flap.

Monster Slimline Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #279 whose parameters included a kid’s card, theater colors, picture(s) element, and half & half. I chose to make a monster themed slimline pop-up card using dies by Karen Burniston and stamps by Picket Fence Studios and Craft Roulette.

Cardbase:  The cardbase is a 110 lb. cream cardstock 8.5×7.5-inch rectangle scored and fold in the center to make a 3.75x 8.5-inch top fold card. Three 3.5×8.25-inch rectangles of an orange patterned paper were used to cover the front and two inside panels of the card base. Two off-cut squares of the same paper was used to cover the cardbase back panel.

Triple Platform Pop-Ups:  Two Triple Platform Pop-Ups are what make the monster pictures pop-up as the card opens.  Watch the assembly video on the linked page. (Video is at the bottom of the linked page.) The base piece was cut from thin cream cardstock, while the trim pieces were cut from the orange paper used as the decorative panels on the card.

Monsters:  The monsters were stamped on a thin creamy cardstock in black and the colored and die cut using the rectangle base dies from the Photo Collage Pop-Up set. The frames were cut from the same die set using shimmer cardstock.

Sentiment:  “Beware: Monsters like birthday cake” was stamped in black from Picket Fence Studios You Creep Me Out set. “Happy Birthday” and its shadow are dies by Karen Burniston. The white stitched label is from the Triple Platform Pop-Up die set. The slices of cake and streamers are from the Big Birthday Charms die set. The card back is stamped with “Inspired by Craft Roulette, made by” in blue ink on to a white rectangle from the Triple Platform Pop-Up die set.

Envelope:  The card fits into #10 business envelope (4.125x 9.5-inches) which was stamped with “HBD” on its back in red ink using the Craft Roulette Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set.

Bottom Fold Purse Pop-Up Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

It’s the Karen Burniston design team challenge for August 2025 using the theme of bottom fold pop-up card. I chose to make a purse card using the Ovals – Crosshatch, Happy Birthday words & shadow, Dolled Up Charms, Bam Box Pop-Up and Display Helpers die sets as well as the Birthday Magic stamp set.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase & Handles: Start with a 8.5×5.5-inch piece of patterned cardstock and fold in half to form a side-fold A2 (4.25×5.5-inch) card. Place the largest Oval-Crosshatch die on the folded card with a tiny bit of the long edge of the oval die hanging off the folded edge. Die cut to have a shaped oval card base. Use the Display Helpers large paperclip die to cut the slots to thread the ribbon handles through as shown in the video above. Weave in the ribbon handles and clasp strip before gluing down the inside decorative ovals. (These ovals are the second largest dies in the Oval-Crosshatch set and are used to cover the ribbon raw edges and the clasp edge.)

Bam Box Pop-Up & Clasp: Watch the assembly video for the Bam Box Pop-Up. Cut out one of the Bam Box strip mechanism. Cut five of the decorative rectangles from paper matching the cardbase paper. Make Bam Box as show in the assembly video at the bottom of the linked page. Glue three of the decorative panels on to the Bam Box as shown in the video above. Glue the two remaining rectangles back to back and fold slightly off center to form the clasp. Glue clasp and Bam Box in as directed in the video above. Adhere two magnets using double-sided tape as shown in the video above. Stamp “Lift” on the front of the clasp using the Display Helpers stamp set.

Lipstick:  Using the Dolled Up Charms die set to cut out the four pieces of the lipstick tube from gold and red cardstock. Follow the directions in the video above and glue to the white oval cut with the third largest crosshatch die in the Oval-Crosshatch set.

Sentiments:  All the stamped sentiments come from the Birthday Magic stamp set and are stamped in black ink. The die-cut “Happy Birthday” uses the word die and its matching shadow die to make the pop-up Bam Box greeting.

Envelope:  The card fits into an A2 (4.25x 5.5-inches) size envelope stamped with “You bring the Sparkle” on the back flap in black ink.

Choo-Choo Train Birthday Card

| ullycatdesigns

This card was made for CRAFT ROULETTE #276 whose parameters included an easel card, rainbow colors, western element, and black and white image. I chose to make a shaped, slimline easel card using dies by Anna Griffin and Sue Wilson.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase:  The cardbase is cut from 110 lb. white cardstock using Anna Griffin’s Antique Train Slimline Easel dies to cut out the two cardbase pieces. Rainbow striped paper was added to the card base and the excess was fussy cut off. (You could die cut the piece again if you don’t like to fussy cut.)

Train:  The detailed train image is cut in black and glued to the shaped outline of the train before it is attached to the card base.

Sentiment:  Cut three sets of Sue Wilson’s “Happy Birthday” from the scraps of white cardstock used for the cardbase. Glue the layers together. Let dry under a paperweight to have the dry flat.  Adhere to cardbase to be used as the easel stop.

Envelope:  The card fits into #10 business envelope (4.125x 9.5-inches) which was stamped with “HBD” on its back in red ink using the Craft Roulette Funn Sentiments #01 stamp set.
